Singer-Songwriter’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Singer-Songwriter’s Pick   2023.04.03   First and foremost, I chose one book about Korean pop music. There are more foreign readers that know about K-Pop than me these days. So, I chose the story of a master that is like the starting point of K-Pop history. And another book I chose is an interesting non-fiction book about key incidents in modern Korean history. One of my foreign friends that used to be greatly interested in the Gwangju Uprising motivated me to pick the book.     The first book I would like to introduce is Shin Jung-Hyeon’s My Guitar Never Sleeps (Haeto). Shin Jung-Hyeon is a rock musician and producer that led Korean pop music in the 1960s and 70s. His sons ? Shin Dae-Cheol, Shin Yoon-Cheol, and Shin Seok-Cheol ? also became legendary musicians in Korea. But, I realized that there were many things that I was neglectful of as I only used to listen to his music.It was right aft...

Special Project   [Book & Media ②] Namhansanseong Fortress To Surrender, or to Fight until the Last Minute, That is the Question   2023.03.13   The King of Joseon and His Aides Besieged by the Qing Dynasty Army after Retreating to Namhansanseong Fortress.Life-or-Death Debate on whether to Surrender or Fight until death.Enemy Troops Approaching amidst Depleting Supplies.   Byungjahoran (the Qing’s invasion of Joseon in Byungja year, 1636-1637) is a war that broke out in 1636 between Joseon and the Qing dynasty of China. The Qing invaded Joseon in anger at Joseon’s pro-Ming policy (a foreign policy favoring the Ming dynasty). Consequently, the then ruler of Joseon, King Injo (r. 1623-1649), fled the royal palace and retreated to Namhansanseong fortress (Namhansanseong is a historical mountain fortress city 25km southeast of Seoul, South Korea), where he resisted. As such, Byungjahoran marks a watershed event in the...

Illustrator’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Illustrator’s Pick   2023.03.13     There’s one thing that I felt as I’ve been living in Seoul for 14 years. Seoul changes every second. The red-brick multi-family house where I lived for 7 years and the path that I walked on every day are no longer there, with new apartments in place instead. Most of the shops I used to be a regular at have closed, too. Such frequent changes are different in type, too. Go around the high, giant apartments, enter the alley, and you’ll see clusters of red-bricked houses all of a sudden, which is quite unbalancing. A decades-old market is just a street across from the new town. Avenues with new, popular shops are always under construction. For travelers, the vibrant atmosphere created by those different sceneries might be something dynamic and entertaining.But, as Korea has been growing too fast, people with less f...
